sanative
Promoting bodily recovery
Sanative means healing or curative—having the power to restore health.
The word is formal and somewhat archaic, appearing mainly in medical or literary contexts: the sanative properties of mineral springs, a sanative climate.
It overlaps with words like therapeutic and restorative but carries an older, more elevated tone.
